Haven't updated yet since I'm writing a thesis at the moment and there are problems with a citation software I'm using.
Can't wait to finish this since I'm really looking forward to having Sierra.
If you already updated, please keep me posted, mate!

Anybody using AU plugins should hold off for now - that's all I know...
-
Very true, Michael. I received an Email warning from Plugin Alliance just today. It's revisiting all its AUs I think, and there's no indication as to how long it will take.
Spikey, unless you absolutely need said features, I'd hold off as long as I could, brother.

rig manager 1.6 beta is fine. we haven't tested against older versions.
-
is AU Alliance a Brand of Plug Ins ?
or a site which check all AU Plugs if they work ? -
Plugin Alliance is an umbrella company that offers a common licensing system a bunch of other plugin companies, digbob. Its brands include Acme Audio, Brainworx, Chandler, Dangerous Music, elysia, ENGL, Lindell Audio, Maag Audio, Millennia, Noveltech, ProAudio DSP, SPL, Unfiltered Audio and Vertigo. A bit too high-end expensive for me, but many swear by them whilst others have had instability issues. I only got that Email 'cause I grabbed a freebie from them at one stage.
Anyway, they've told everyone to wait 'til they're ready for Sierra:
Plugin Alliance: M/S Mastering Tools & Audio Plug-ins
UAD Powered Plugins are not working.
There must be others, but I've not bothered to look further as it's not relevant to me (not upgrading).
MOTU has released drivers today for its AVB audio interfaces, and clearly states that the latest drivers (not today's, January's) are required for its other audio and MIDI interfaces' Sierra compatibility:
MOTU.com - MOTU and OS X Sierra
These are reported working with Pro Tools:
Antares Auto-Tune LIVE
Eiosis De-Esser
Brainworx BX Meter
Lexicon LXP Reverbs
Massey DRT
Native Instruments Absynth
Native Instruments Battery
Native Instruments FM8
Native Instruments Kontakt 5
Native Instruments Massive
Native Instruments Reaktor 5
Relab LX480
SSL Duende Native Channel Strip
SSL Duende Native Bus Compressor
Slate Digital Everything Bundle
Slate Trigger 2
SoundToys 5 Complete
Waves (Various Plugins)
VocAlign ProjectThis is all I've heard. Right now it's a crapshoot, so as I suggested to Spikey earlier, I'd hold out as long as possible.

As a long-time Pro Tools user on the Mac, I can attest to the fact that every major OS change (and they are frequent) breaks commonly used industry-standard audio products. It can take months, if not longer to work through the pain. I skipped El Capitan, and will likely skip Sierra as well. The problem for newcomers is that you can only buy a new Mac with the latest and "greatest" OS.

Thanks I'll just hold off as Logic Pro uses LOTS of AU's.
-
A wise move IMHO, matey; I use only AU (no VST) in Digital Performer, so it's a no-brainer for me.

Yeah but Logic Pro is Apple and thus will always be ready for a new OSX.
I already received a mail by Apogee stating their stuff is ready for Sierra.
I need to look up on Focusrite and my Slate stuff incl. the Raven.
And my UAD Satellite of course. -

That'd only apply to the factory plugins 'though, Ingy - the ones Apple make.

Of course. I understood @spikey 's phrase more as a concern that Logic's own plugins might not run.
They will. -
Gotcha. Had a feeling that's what you meant; thanks Ingolf.

OK, there's a compatibility-info thread at BeerGutz that's nicely laid out by a mod:
macOS Sierra - compatibility info - Gearslutz Pro Audio Community
Should prove mighty handy for those who're concerned about Sierra.
